The LTC
®
1654 is a dual, rail-to-rail voltage output, 14-bit
digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It is available in a
16-lead narrow SSOP package, making it the smallest dual
14-bit DAC available. It includes output buffer amplifiers
and a flexible serial interface.
The LTC1654 has REFHI pins for each DAC that can be
driven up to V
CC
. The output will swing from 0V to V
CC
in
gain of 1 configuration or V
CC
/2 in gain of 1/2 configura-
tion. It operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply.
The LTC1654 has two programmable speeds: a FAST and
SLOW mode with
±1LSB
settling times of 3.5µs or 8µs
respectively and supply currents of 750µA and 450µA in
the two modes. The LTC1654 also has shutdown capabil-
ity, power-on reset and clear function to 0V.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Nonlinearity is defined from code 50 to code 16383 (full scale).
See Applications Information.
Note 3:
100pF Load Capacitor
Note 4:
DAC switched between code 200 and code 16383.
Note 5:
Digital inputs at 0V or V
CC
.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 7:
V
OUT
can only swing from (GND +V
OS
)
to (V
CC
–V
OS
)
when output is unloaded. See Applications Information.
Note 8:
CS/LD = 0, V
OUT
= 4.096 and data is being clocked in.

A (Pins 1, 8):
The Gain of 1 or Gain of
1/2 Pin. When this pin is tied to V
OUT
, the output will swing
up to REFHI/2 and when this pin is tied to REFLO, the
output will swing up to REFHI. These pins should not be
left floating.
CLR (Pin 2):
The Asynchronous Clear Input.
SCK (Pin 3):
The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface
Clock.
SDI (Pin 4):
The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface
Data. Data on the SDI pin is latched into the shift register
on the rising edge of the serial clock. The LTC1654 re-
quires a 24-bit word. The first 8 bits are control/address
followed by 16 data bits. The last two of the 16 data bits are
don’t cares. If daisy-chaining is desired, then a 32-bit data
word can be used with the first 8 being don’t cares and the
following 24 bits as above.
CS/LD (Pin 5):
The TTL Level Input for the Serial Interface
Enable and Load Control. When CS/LD is low, the SCK
signal is enabled, so the data can be clocked in. When
CS/LD is pulled high, the control/address bits are
decoded.
DGND/AGND (Pins 6, 12):
Digital and Analog Grounds.
SDO (Pin 7):
The output of the shift register that becomes
valid on the rising edge of the serial clock.
V
OUT A/B
(Pins 9, 15):
The Buffered DAC Outputs.
REFHI A/B (Pins 10, 14):
The Reference High Inputs of the
LTC1654. There is a gain of 1 from this pin to the output
in a gain of 1 configuration. In a gain of 1/2 configuration,
there is a gain of 1/2 from this pin to V
OUT
.
REFLO A/B (Pins 11, 13):
The Reference Low Inputs of the
LTC1654.
V
CC
(Pin 16):
The Positive Supply Input. 2.7V
≤
V
CC
≤
5.5V.
Requires a 0.1µF bypass capacitor to ground.
